A lovely piece.

[@richardlastmann1025]

AMAZING! I could listen forever. Practice my whole life and could never do it. Crazy to think it is Baroque music, sounds like flamenco. He is some kind of virtuoso that reminds me of a young Paco de Lucia! Love it! I look forward to more!

[@ghrtfhfgdfnfg]

Origins run deep eh

[@Quicksilver_Cookie]

Baroque music heavily encouraged improvisation and introduction of personal touches. I'm not sure how this exact piece is written, but it's possible this performer added some of his own personal flair.

[@ThibautKurt23]

@@Quicksilver_Cookiethe books of Santiago de Murcia are written in tablatures . They features mostly indications for chords , rasguedos especially in the rythm explanations or acompaniment and suggestions for the ornaments (appoggiatures, trills, mordants), but as most of the composers of that era the author let you free of making the compositions your owns , he just suggests and gives examples

[@ThibautKurt23]

As for flamenco, the thing is that fandango and jacara are old popular Spanish dances from south of Spain that shares harmonic and rythmic similarities with modern flamenco

741mm if it is an accurate copy. That’s huge!

[@yuridanylko]

Tuning?

[@MarcassCarcass]

What's up with the double strings on this instrument, but the high sting doesn't have one? Why do they appear to be tuned the same and not like a 12 string (in octaves)? Is there 12 string classical guitar (or whatever this is) that uses the octaves?

[@shoutykat]

It looks like it's ususally five double courses, but the instrument is missing a peg. You can see the empty hole in the headstock. I'm guessing that would have been replaced not long after this performance, but they just had to get it done so they played it missing a string.

[@wapolo1974]

I don't believe it's missing a peg; baroque guitars, like lutes tend to have a single chanterelle or highest pitched string.

[@jscordoba3]

@@wapolo1974 you are correct

[@sorrenblitz805]

It's a five course instrument but baroque guitars typically only have 9 strings. No low E.

[@galenhanlyhefferman8764]

yeah, some have said the correct answer. the baroque guitar is tuned same notes as a guitar without the low e, however on lute and baroque/renaissance guitar the highest string is single, not double, to make the melodies clearer. in addition, these guitars are tuned in a re entrant tuning like a ukulele somewhat, where the low strings are pitched an octave up from normal. this allows for certain runs not possible on a normal guitar. players choose different configurations of unison and octave low strings.

[@mrodontoid]

Why is the ninth string missing? Is that intentional or accidental?

[@talonhammer]

Baroque guitar utilizes courses but the final is often left single purposefully 😅

Flamenco, about as you would expect it in the 20th century - but baroque.😮

[@marvinthemaniac7698]

To me the Baroque guitar is the transition from ancient lute to classical guitar.

[@jbik140]

The vihuela was a Spanish instrument from the Renaissance and is the transition from lute to guitar, it was tuned the same as a lute but had less strings so you can strum (you can’t strum well on a lute because there are so many courses). The baroque guitar came after the vihuela, and has nothing in common with the lute. In fact, the baroque guitar and classical guitar are tuned the same way except for the low E not being present on the baroque guitar. The baroque lute and the baroque guitar were around the same time (mainly the Spanish favored the guitar the most and the Germans the lute), and the baroque lute has different tuning than the renaissance lute and is played in a different way.

[@marvinthemaniac7698]

@@marvinthemaniac7698 and brought with them the chordophones that became the lute, vihuela, and the guitar. "Lute" itself is an anglicisation of the arabic al-oud. Have a look on youtube for a video titled " Early Music 1: Arngeir, gittern", you can see a beautiful example of an instrument that is an ancestor of our modern guitar (I would include a link, but I don't think the comment will stay up if I do)

Excellent, bravo! Your technique is highly developed, but it seems like you're too bound to the notes you must play than to the spirit of the composition. Let yourself go deeper, I'm sure that with your level of technique you can astonish us even more! (Please forgive any grammar and syntactic error, I'm not a native English speaker).

[@PoliviosMusic]

Thank you for checking out the vid and music. Actually for a large part of the performance there are NO notes and I either composed or improvised the piece.

[@pcenero]

I like the music and performance; hate the editing. Feels like I'm blacking out intermittently.
